LOW FPS - GTX 660 Ti I5 2500K ~13 fps in towns

[Timeraider]

gtx680m
16gb 1600 mhz ram ddr5
i7 quad running between 3.3 and 3.7 ghz

fps in instances: 150+
fps in outdoors with some people doing fates and all: 70-90 fps
fps in busy towns: ey.. look.. 30 -_-

I'm running a 2600k OC to 4.43 with SSD, 16 gb of 1866 RAM, with a reference EVGA 680 and I also have hits in towns. Running 30-45 in towns, but once I leave a huge jump. If I were to turn off the V-sync, world fps are 120-140 fps. In town it is around 30-45. Doesn't exactly sound right. Have had V-sync turned on the whole time, but I will have to try turning it off to see what it does.

What hardware are you running?

Ay, I can confirm that spinning your camera drops the frame rates by a ton, my specs:

intel 4770k processor @4.5ghz
gtx 780's x2 SLI
32gb ram
samsung 840pro 256gb x2 raid 0
resolution: 2560*1440

I can get 80-90 fps in town, until i start spinning the camera and it plummets to about 40-60 fps.

Having issues here as well, despite 12k points in the benchmark...

My Specs:
i7 3370 @4ghz
gtx 760
8gig ram
game resolution: 1600*900 (window)

The fps is usually 60fps (frame limiter on), and dips 40fps in towns, which makes sense with lots of people. But also dips in dps randomly in seemingly empty landscapes and CAVES even!
Not even deterministic in the sense that I can pass through the same cave with 60fps and sometimes the same cave will render my fps down to 40-50fps.
The engine they seem to use, sounds like a chinese import. If this said engine renders so far ahead (the heck it does within a cave... or a house, which also stutters btw.), then implement an option that limits the visibilty range! Plenty of games, especially MMOs have a visibility range setting. Why doesn't FFXIV? If fps sucks so much in towns, why not implement an option where you can reduce the details of other characters? This would certainly help the dips in the towns and FATES.

So far, this is the least optimized and customizable engine that I have seen of late. And you had 3 years after the initial launch. I cannot seriously see myself subscribing to this game in such an unmaintained state.

You do realize that this is a whole different engine than used previously right? And as far as customization, it's fairly robust comparing most PC games nowadays... Not sure if you have noticed, but many games these days are console ports, leaving PC users few options to play with. Not all but many. With the Xbox One and PS4, there may be a shift on how games are done for PC.

Side note: Benchmarks aren't always accurate representations of actual gameplay, and should be taken as a baseline. I almost got mine to 13k but still have issues. Throwing more money into CPU and GPU is an option, just not many people have that kind of money.

Just a general thought:

Has anyone ever played Crysis 2 on PC and turned on the wireframe? I wonder if they implemented the same thing that renders objects needlessly. Such as Crysis 2 having water rendered for the entire bottom layer of the map as a sea level.

Specs:

i7 3770k OC 4.5Ghz
MSI Z77 MPower Motherboard
2 EVGA GTX 660 Ti FTW Signiture 2 Video Cards in SLI
16Gb Corsair Vengeance Ram.
All drivers are current.

In cities ill see my FPS drop into the 20s, Gridania is probably the worst for me.

Other than the cities i will occasionally see random FPS drops but most of the time im 50 - 60.

What i dont really care for is how much this game depends on the CPU instead of the GPU.

I will have 50% load on both my cards at all times. It just bothers me that i never see the cards go over 50%. Im sure if they did i wouldnt see some of the FPS drops that i have.

What hardware are you running?

Dual intel xenon x5650
46 GB DDR 3 1600mhz memory
4 nvidia evga Titans
Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Pro

Each processor is 6 physical cores with 12 thread HT.

like i said before i know some people have had issues with low frame rates... Lucky i haven't had that issue to the extent they have had... I have had the client randomly drop to 1 fps then just windows error out... (seems theres a memory leak in the game client.) Only happens really after hours and hours of gameplay... Other then the ocasional that happening its just been 1017 server errors we had in the beginning other then that i been able to really play the game at whatever resolution i want with the settings i want with no real actual issue.

Isn't that rig more of a workstation rather than a gaming rig, bit overkill for gaming don't ya think hehe.

Never said i just use it for gameing lol.. At least now u know why i can run the game at really high resolutions while still maxing out the game with high frame rates.. As the system is just overkill for it.

[animapain]

GPU usage 88% while in a packed area ( incase you can't see the purple text. )

As you can see here, the game just wont utilize my hardware. I made sure to check the individual cores and I have 2 cores spiking around 70% while the other 2 are between 45-55%. So clearly no bottleneck there,so why in the hell is this happening?
